Bracket Predictions 2025-26

I guess we will see tomorrow!
You're clearly not even reading the room. I am not, nor have I, nor was the link that I posted that you disagreed with, says that UCONN is going to be a 1 seed. That link is from before any games today. So while they had UCONN as a 1 this morning...while you can think they lost their 1 seed losing to Marquette AND I AGREE THAT SHOULD BE THE CASE, look at what was still in play. The metric that the committee has stated they use the most, the WAB, they are still #5. If UCONN went on to win the Big East tourney, and Florida lost like they did, you can bet your ass UCONN would have been right there for a 1 seed...and I don't agree they should be, but they would be.

Your 'I guess we will see tomorrow!' makes no sense. Because myself, nor the link I posted, will have UCONN has a 1 seed.

Hasn’t everybody been saying that the conference tournaments don't matter? Why are so many talking about movement of seeds based on this weekend?

Just a quick perspective.

The 4 teams projected as 15 seeds are in the 180’s and 190’s in KenPom. We beat Lipscomb in the first round last year by 27. Lipscomb ended at 89 in KenPom. Now, which 7-10 team would we face second round?
 
Says who…you? While I agree they shouldn’t have been sniffing a 1 they were still high in literally every metric and the most important WAB. So we saying ‘they lost any chance’ means squat because they were definitely in the running.
WAB is important for getting into the tournament, not for high seeding.

They were NOT high in Kenpom, BPI and Torvik
 
Who does everyone want as a 1 seed in our bracket?
Uconn would be my preference but i don't think they will actually get the last 1 (I think it will be Florida as the last 1). Duke is my next preference as they have been struggling with their injuries.

I'd love it to be Florida/UConn, but that's not going to happen (we're not going to be the #5 overall). I'm fine with either Michigan or Duke. I don't want to face anyone from the Big 12 until the Final Four.

Florida has the last number 1. Now the argument shifts to Houston vs. UConn for the top #2 seed. I would go with Houston. Very close, but Houston has a better SOS and UConn does have the Creighton loss.

I'm not afraid of UCLA, they're obviously talented but their play hasn't impressed me.
I’m not afraid.

But I do know they’ve been playing better ball of late.

Down their best player and 2nd best player out after 9 minutes vs Purdue and the game was close.

I’d like to play teams trending down. Not up.

That’s all.
